I'll bet there are 3-4 spots where the car gets light and gives too much wheel spin at WOT. I'll bet the net diff is <5 seconds around track. Understand that when REALLY racing that is a lifetime, but most people (even decent drivers) would leave on in case they screw up. Even pro drivers lose it from time to time-- that's why it is called 10/10ths.If you have proper safety gear and you are not paying for the car-- who cares I guess.
My point about being FASTER was a bit silly/theorhetical-- but if you allowed very detailed tuning, it would have to make you faster. It's just another variable that you can optimize.
Agree that in real world, they make pro drivers slower in street cars. But, for the good systems, not by much.
BTW, I think MDM ("//M-Mode") is MORE intrusive than VDC or PSM in sprt mode-- at least on an M5. Perhaps in CSL they dial it way back. I wish all cars had what that souped up Lotus has (the 240R?)--- a dial with an analog setting of how much slip angle you want before intervention.
